Is there any truth to this? That you could be invited to an interview and then just sent home simply because you failed a few check rides back in your training days?
Some advise..
I went through all my training through CFII/MEI, got my ATP and a type rating in the ATR and went on to get 5 other PIC type ratings including A320 and MD11, as well as all the recurrent training and line checks in 6500 hours of flying and I've only ever failed my commercial single engine (short field landing) in a C-152 when I had 250 hours or so.. In this environment, with the glut of pilots looking for work, you need to make sure you don't fail a 3rd... or just cut your losses and seek other career options.
